How many years: cholinergic urticaria?

February 20, 2018 by Forum Member

Hi everyone! Finding this website and forum has been amazing!! I’ve never met anyone who has any idea what I’m talking about when I say cholinergic urticaria.

I began having symptoms in 1970 or ‘71 and was finally diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria in 1979 at the age of 21. I am now almost 60 and still suffer at least once a week with hives. I was told when I was young that I’d ‘outgrow’ this by the time I was 30.

Anyone else here who has suffered for this long and is there any truth to the ‘outgrowing’ idea?

I have had CU since I was 15, I went through anti-histamine treatment and tried too many types of medications I lost track of them. What is working for me now is intense workout or exercise (such as football) every few days and that would keep this horrible condition at bay
